I find it bizarre that the category for black people only consists of Black, African-American or Negro when the category for Asian breaks down by country. At the least they could break Black down by region of origin, i.e. Afro-Caribbean, African-American, African, so on and so forth,.

I'm not really offended but I grew up with the term.

Ya it is baffling. I noticed for hispanics/latinos they have Spain, Cuba, Puerto rico etc listed. Don't know why African-Americans and blacks are the only options.

at first i was thinking that maybe it was because whites making those forms don't give a damn and only see black and then i remembered that black americans do the same thing. anytime a person says theyre from DR, Panama, Jamaica,Guyan or anywhere other than america there always a black american saying "so you still black"
